Tue, 12 Apr 2005 21:00:00 -0700Prospectus Today: Bullet Point Monday by <a class='author' href="/author/joe_sheehan/">Joe Sheehan</a>http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=3061
http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=3061Why the heck is the Futures Game scheduled for Sunday afternoon, when MLB
games are still being played? I caught bits and pieces of yesterday's contest,
held at 3 p.m. Central at Houston's Minute Maid Field, but was too distracted
by the great finishes in Philadelphia and Boston to pay it too much mind.
Having missed three innings, I was never able to get fully into the game.
It's as if MLB wants to bury the Futures Game by putting it up against
regular-season games. Speaking mostly for myself, I would much rather the game
be, say, this afternoon, than have it be up against the last few games of the
first half. Having the Futures Game on Monday creates a practical issue--how to
have the Game, the All-Stars' batting practice, and the Home Run Derby in the
same place on the same day while selling tickets to either one or two
sessions--but that can be dealt with by either moving the Futures Game to a
different location or truncating the day's BP sessions.
The Home Run Derby is a turgid two hours that exists largely because no one
seems to know how to stop getting corporate sponsorship for it. Making the
Futures Game the centerpiece of All-Star Monday would make the day shine,
while giving the players in it a proper stage for their skills.Sun, 11 Jul 2004 21:00:00 -0700Prospecting: Futures Game Preview by <a class='author' href="/news/index.php?author=6">David Cameron</a>http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=2085
http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=2085This Sunday at 5:30 p.m. EST, Major League Baseball will present the fifth annual showcase of the premier minor league talents in the game. It receives an ESPN2 time slot usually reserved for reruns of the 1976 World Strongest Man competition and gets about the same amount of national attention, but you'd be hard pressed to find a better place to watch talent assemble. There are eight major league All-Stars this year who have participated in one of the four Futures Game contests, and that number will only rise as improving players like Lance Berkman, Joel Pineiro, and Brett Myers find their way to the big stage in the coming years. However, since the game doesn't receive much in the way of promotion (shocking, I know), people still ask questions. So, here are some answers.Thu, 10 Jul 2003 21:00:00 -0700Playoff Prospectus by <a class='author' href="/author/christina_kahrl/">Christina Kahrl</a>http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=1247
